Saving video not working?

[filipizydorczyk]

Describe the bug I can't save a recording. I have keyMods = ctrl+shift in condig and when I use it there is no notification and no video in ~/Videos/ReplaySorcery. My service file that I started look like this

[Unit]
Description=ReplaySorcery: an open-source, instant-replay solution for Linux.
After=graphical-session.target replay-sorcery-kms.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/replay-sorcery
TimeoutStopSec=60
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=graphical-session.target

I tried also replay-sorcery save but it gives me

 ➜ ~ replay-sorcery save           
Real user ID: 1000
Effective user ID: 1000
Failed to connect socket: No such file or directory
No such file or directory

Do I do something wrong?

Nevermind I missuderstood config file it works fine. The readme could contain default key combo though
